Dr Farley is excellent. Always been informative and thorough in exam and discussing further plan of the care. She did my lumpectomy with all clear margins. She made sure all surrounding margins were also removed to ensure my cancer is completely removed. The previous consult, office visits, and surgery day were smooth. Dr Farley is extremely professional and clearly communicates with me for my further care. Her nurse Rhonda is also amazing as Dr Farley's right hand and she has been very helpful. I'm very grateful that I have a wonderful surgical oncology team. I highly recommend Dr Farley to anyone. I already recommend to my friends. |

Dr. Farley heard me from the first time ever meeting her. She has included me in every discussion and decision regarding my DCIS in my left breast and other findings. She doesn't belittle me when I ask questions, she explains everything in terms that I can understand. Dr. Farley shows concern about my mental health since the former doctor from last year 2023 handling my breast cancer diagnosis was so RUDE from start to after the surgery, causing me to have very crippling anxiety, major depression and other. My visits are still very stressful and hard to get through. But the few visits with Dr. Farley, It Is becoming a little bit more manageable. Because I know Dr. Farley will patiently talk me through all things that are or are not found during my follow up appointments. |

She spoke incredibly quickly, and I don't feel like my life, or desires for my treatment were ever considered. They were certainly not asked about which is a shame because it would have saved her a lot of time and actually led to helpful conversation between patient and doctor, not just the doctor telling the patient what the doctor was going to do. It made me very aware that medicine is an assembly line, and some how I ended up on the assembly line. |

Dr. Farley listened to me. She repeated if I needed a clearer understanding of what we discussed. She did not once make me feel anxious or pressured like the former surgeon last year.Dr. Farley explained in terms that I could understand when it came to my diagnosis and what procedure she would like to do or might have to do. But I didn't feel like I was just another number or person being sent to the butcher shop |

Dr. Farley is by far the best physician I have ever interacted with. She is professional, thorough in her interactions, excellent with reading me as a patient, and has superior bedside manner! She created an environment that made it extremely easy for me to trust her. Anyone who knows me knows I try to avoid physicians at all cost. I'd rather be anywhere than in a hospital. The way Dr. Farley is able to merge her professionalism, educational prowess with a caring spirit is something I personally appreciate. I would highly recommend her!!! |
